Online Payments

Your time and your organization's resources are too valuable to waste on manual processes like taking registrations by phone, follow-up on donations, and credit card processing. And you may be missing valuable opportunities to generate event-based and additional revenue if you don’t have a way to securely accept online donations. Greater Giving Online Payments allows you to register event attendees and securely process credit card registrations and donations online.

Overview

Online Payments eliminates the need to manually process registration and credit card payments by rolling both activities into one easy process that attendees and donors do themselves online. Your registrants and donors will all get immediate registration or payment confirmation via the Web. And Online Payments makes it easy to maintain the look and feel of your Website on each Online Payments page.

Leverage Online Payments for more than your once-a-year event —without a big time investment on your end – by creating donor pages for year-round online giving to get even more from your investment.

“Greater Giving's Online Payments is a key component of our overall Web-based strategy and is important to aligning all our fundraising efforts.”

—Ronald McDonald House Charities® of Oregon and Southwest Washington

How many pages do I get?

Organizations can have up to 10 active pages at any one time. An 'active page' refers to pages that are accessible to the public.

Do pages built using Online Payments interact with Event Software Online?

Yes. Web pages built using Online Payments can interact with Event Software Online if you include that specification in the page-building process.

How do nonprofits use Online Payments?

In addition to event registration, Online Payments can be used for single and recurring donations, capital or annual fund donations, special appeals, accepting procured items, and taking volunteer information.

Can you build the pages for me?

The Online Payments portal provides users with the option to build or edit their own pages. Clients who prefer that Greater Giving's support team build their pages can obtain those services for an additional, per-page fee.

Can I see examples of what other groups have created with Online Payment?

What if no one in our organization knows anything about creating a website?

We built the tool with this question in mind and made it easy for anyone to use to build a page.

What is a Virtual Terminal and how do I use it?
